1.) it has likable lead actors, I didn't want bad things to happen to them.
2.) We actually get to see some scary shit.

I want my $11 back, so I can mail it to Chris with a note: 'Love your acting. Here's a few bucks so you can keep up the *good* work.'

I'm lying to my non-nerd friends about liking Star Trek *more* than I do. This is amazing. The world is upside-down.

I'm not going to see it in IMAX b/c of the shaky cam and lens flares. I'm prone to migraines and I'd like to enjoy a Star Trek movie experience without blinding headaches and vomiting, thanks very much.

The thing I really liked about it: though they made the caracters "edgier", adding teenageangst and whatnot, they managed to make the Enterprise nicer and yet more realistic.
Especially dug the Engineroom, it looked kinda like a sub´s (but why does a spaceship has a basement?) and made spacetraveling in the ST universe relateable.
Also I see this movie as some kind of Natman Begins, as a retcon torn between being a good film with bad elements or being a stupid film with some extraordinary stuff thrown in.
This movie will by future generations be called:
Star Trek: The Exposition, while the Sequel´s name will be
Star Trek 2: Where Something Other Than Introducing The Crew Happens
Hopefully!

i was, however not a fan of Sylar... he just didn't feel right as Spock. the rest of teh cast was spot on in every detail. one of my friends is hoping that paramount is seeing this as a wake up call to relaunch the franchise as a TV show with the movie cast.
i tried to explain that its doubtful because Sylar is locked up in heros, but here is to hoping.
as a die hard trecker, it was the best star trek movie ever. hat tip to JJ for a great job...
the only negative is the amount of stupid lens flairs.

Agreed. Let's hope the plot is a little more logical next time, and they actually make the bad guy sympathetic. One should not have to read a prequel comic book to fill in the gaps in the story.

not to get off topic but I think george lucas should have done the same with star wars. That is...the problem with doing these prequels is that you essentially know how it all ends. However, if something is thrown in (in star trek's case, time travel) which allows the story to remain essentially the same, but at the same time allows for a different outcome and even different events, then I think you have the perfect middle ground for telling (prequel) or even retelling (re making) a story.
